Here are some pics of an ascent of Jolly Roger I did with Erik Eriksson last month. We started with a third person but he didn't make it 'cause the wheels blew off his bus!

This is the infamous 6th pitch with runout free climbing leading to a reported A4+ aid section. In reality, the aid wasn't too bad after all but the free mantle at the end was spicy!
Another view of pitch 6. The mantle is above the frame of the camera, you can just make out the footholds that lead into the mantle to the bolt, and pheww!.

The first hard pitch, # 11 . Wild hooking near an arete leading to thin heads and around the arete back into the Heart ampitheater.

The Golden Doubloon pitch. A 120 degree wall with a seam like that on a football arching up & out the Heart ampitheater for a 190' pitch.
This is from midway on the pitch looking up at the belay which was right at the lip of the steepest part of the pitch. The bags were free hanging and swung around constantly in the wind.

Heading up the 12th pitch, it was cold and windy almost the entire time we were up there.

Looking down mid-pitch from the 13th pitch. Thank god for portaledges, the belay station Erik is hanging at was at the lip of the ampitheater and everything was free swinging!

Here we have joined with Sunkist for some easier pitches. Note the talon hook left in for protection!

Pitch #17 the ramp. Hooking and more fun into the upper corner which gobbled beaks & peckers like mad. I believe 17 beaks went in on this pitch alone!

Another view of pitch 18. PTPP gave me a topo that said to stay Right at the pillar above. Don't listen to this nonsense!! That pillar is the loose crocodile head I mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It almost expanded off the wall with me riding it down Dr. Strangelove style!

18th pitch- A3+ heads & beaks up to easier climbing.

Black Diamond makes a good 'biner. Looking back down pitch #16.

The thin beaking of the upper part of pitch #17. Those things will hang on the barest of bumps in thin seams, shallow placements to be sure but they held bounce tests so you get on it, or not.There is a ledge seperating this from the lower ramp that you wouldn't want to hit if things went wrong. This is the "break every bone in your body" if you fall section.

Amazing waves of bronze & tangerine colored stone on the Golden Doubloon pitch. Very steep, very stout, very nice!

Looking down the 18th pitch, note the bronze colored crocodile head flake. It was loose as f*%# and almost came off when I tried to move on it. It pulled out a good 3 inches from the wall and several of my cams tipped out and fell down the crack. Yowza!!!

Edit*

Revised pics:
The so called "body-cleaving" pinnacle mentioned by Pete begining the 11th pitch.
Another shot of the A4 hooking ramp on pitch 17. Note the glacier polish? on the slab.

Hauling above Little John in perfect weather.
Thin expanding flakes on the 13th pitch, old A4+, modern A3, due to modern cams & offsets.
The Captain's Quarters ledge.
The top at last. Even though the sun was out, it was windy & cold. Here, I'm breaking down the haulbags at the final belay tree.
Pitch 20, off the Crow's Nest, a tiny stance with a slung horn incorporated into the belay.
The Seven Seas pitch, an A2 beauty that bore the signs of some recent free climbing attempts( ie- chalked tick marks at key holds & gear placements. There was also a modern sport anchor above with a line of bolts entering & exiting some steep, wild looking rock.
A climber on the Shield.

Pitch # 13, which is the joining point with Sunkist, and passes belay #7 of Sunkist and goes all the way in a long pitch to what is belay #8 but on the J.R., it is numero 13.
Looking down pitch 16 from the point where J.R. & Sunkist diverge.

Ya know, I was ready for some excitement when I opened the thread, but I think you are really asking too much of us when you expect us to be able to handle the *free climbing* in the First Photo this early in the morning.

I hope Bill is just taking a break from the editing [which takes a HUGE amount of time in a post like this] and will soon re-arrange the out-of-order photos and add lots more photo captions so everyone else knows what's what.

I hope there are a few Tom Evans telephoto pix available to splice in, too.

Superb recognizable photos from what is probably my all-time favourite El Cap route, which we climbed eight years ago. I have tons and questions and comments, but will wait a bit. Go Bill go!

Yes, Kate - you'll need a Rope Gun for a few of the pitches. My partner Jon Fox talked about 5.11x handslaps up and left of Mammoth, so I'd like to hear about that. And also the body-cleaving pinnacle - I wonder if Erik bypassed it somehow?

Those are damn nice pics!
How many days on the wall?
I was guiding the Salathe when Xavier Bongard was soloing the route.
He let out quite a yelp after finishing some hair ball lead,
As we were working left past the Heart, maybe in the vicinity of the Gold Doubloon...

It is just to bad that PTPP didn't fill in his own captions to these pictures, since he apparently wants you to know he has also been there as well. Hopefully he will return with his questions and comments he promised, so we can hear more about his, i mean your trip. Then "everyone else" will know what went on up there.

It is someone elses chance to shine and like usual the spraymaster wants to talk about himself.
